A charming, modern, and spacious 2 bedroom apartment with eclectic decor in a quiet building and historic neighborhood, adjoining the Stuyvesant Heights district in Brooklyn, NY (designated a historic district by the NYC Landmark Commission) is available at select times of the year.

The entire apartment and building was renovated several years ago. So it's quite "new." For those traveling by car, there is plenty of street parking available.

Up to 2 guests stay in the Master Bedroom. The 2nd bedroom is not available for occupancy.

As for a general overview:
The 2 bedrooms get beautiful light. There's a queen size bed in the master bedroom and also in the 2nd bedroom. Each bedroom fits two guests. The larger master bedroom faces the backyard. The smaller 2nd bedroom faces the street. The two bedrooms are separated by the dining and living rooms, so there's plenty of privacy. Max occupancy for the entire apartment is 4.

Both the bathroom (which faces the backyard) and kitchen (which faces the street) are modern and both get beautiful light as well. The bathroom is located next to the master bedroom.

The living and dining rooms are furnished with an eclectic mix of modern and antique furnishings. Large TV monitor and excellent audio system at your disposal. CD collection of classical, jazz, world, and R&B music.

My place is located on the 2nd floor, a short and easy walk-up a flight of stairs. It is a pleasant 12-minute stroll on a beautiful tree-lined street, to the subway station which is frequently serviced by express (A line) and local (C line). Only 15 minutes on the express subway line to Manhattan. At least 6 bus lines service the neighborhood (B52, B26 and B25 to Fort Greene and downtown Brooklyn, B15 to JFK Int'l Airport, B46 Limited Stop and Local Stop services to Williamsburg, and, B43 to Greenpoint). If you don't feel like walking to/from my place to/from subway stop, you can take the B15 FROM the subway station or take the B46 TO the subway station.

Lots of public transportation options in the 'hood: at least 6 bus lines service the neighborhood (B52, B26 and B25 to Fort Greene and downtown Brooklyn, B15 to JFK Int'l Airport, B46 Limited Stop and Local Stop services to Williamsburg, and, B43 to Greenpoint). If you don't feel like walking to/from my place to/from subway stop, you can take the B15 FROM the subway station or take the B46 TO the subway station.

As for detour-worthy restos in the 'hood, SARAGHINA (a casual and excellent Italian resto, just 5 blocks away) is highly recommended. Other suggestions include CELESTINO (a casual Italian resto also a mere 5 blocks away) and PEACHES (a casual resto serving cuisine from the South - think soul food - about 7 blocks way). For bars, there are excellent drinks at SARAGHINA's intimate bar and there is also THERAPY (also 5 blocks away). For reliable sandwiches, salads, pastries, coffee, there is a Cafe, a sister property of PEACHES (just two doors down from the resto). There is also very good restaurant called HOTHOUSE located 7 blocks away that serves an "urban" interpretation regional American classics from the South. It is another sister property of the highly regarded PEACHES restaurant.

Reviews for this host's other properties

Jerry is a clever and full of attentions host, oriented to solve questions one could occur visiting New York with a family, even for situations one wouldn't expect. The flat is ok, 30 min far to Manhattan by subway, which stop (A line) is a ten minutes walk far from the flat.
Good connection to JFK airport with same subway in the other direction

We had a nice and pleasant stay at Jerrys apartement. Our expectations were far exceeded. Jerry is a friendly, approaching, helpful and experienced host, who offers just the rigt near-distanz ratio. The apartment is very aesthetically furnished and a real comfort zone. The neighborhood is very quiet and therefore a balance to the pulsating life in the city and only a 20 minutes ride by tube away from Manhattan. The nice, brooklyn style house is situated in a calm and picturesque alley. We also enjoyed our stay at the "Summer Cafe" and "Peaches". We plan to stay at Jerry again.

The house is very nice and clean.
The neighborhood is beautiful, safe and quite. Every morning Jerry let us find fresh bread and fruits jams of the best quality. He gave us a lot of interesting tips about the city, where to eat, to drink something or to listen to good music: he is a perfect host! We really enjoyed staying there, highly recommended!
